Hi @9025e3,
Windows shows this when the printer reports an alert.
- Check the printer's display for messages (paper, cartridges, open door) and clear them.
- Cancel all jobs in the print queue, then restart the printer and the computer.
- Remove the printer in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners and add it again (or reinstall HP's software).
- Run HP Print and Scan Doctor: https://support.hp.com/in-en/help/printscandoctor
